The 5key Guidebook

A guide inspired by iidx.org, made for beatmania – no, not IIDX, the original beatmania, for players of all skill level.

This guide is meant to offer basic information & advanced knowledge about one of KONAMI’s older works, without being too confusing and all in one organized place.

Most basic arcade information will be based on beatmania THE FINAL, the final version in the game’s series; however, other more detailed information will refer to other games in the series as well.
